Bare Bones Concepts

Bare Bones Concepts specializes in plastinated anatomical specimens for teaching, offering dry, lifelike materials that are durable and easy to handle. Its products support educators and students who want to examine real anatomical structures and details beyond what many conventional models show. The shop offers specimens across urinary, respiratory, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, and vision categories, as well as discounted packages containing three, five, or seven items.

The company also provides custom plastination services for customer-supplied dissections and specimens. These may include time-consuming dissections intended for repeated classroom use, anatomical anomalies, pathologies, or surgical interventions prepared for demonstration. Specimens can be customized by dissection, size, or features, with customers encouraged to contact the team to discuss options and pricing. Each specimen is individually prepared to highlight its anatomical features.

In-stock items generally ship within a week, while items not currently available may take up to three months. The company states that its animal specimens are sourced as byproducts of animals slaughtered for consumption.
